It's a bit of a false choice to say the options are systemd or write everything in bash. Personally I do like OpenRC. Service management is a hard problem when you start adding things like socket activation, home directory management, DNS resolving, container management, log management, and whatever else they want to throw in. Now you might say "well DNS resolving isn't actually part of systemd, it's a seperate daemon", well they've been more and more tightly coupling all these different components together. Yes you can disable systemd's DNS resolver, but probably something else will break. They're all pretty tightly coupled together and they mostly seem to do that in a dumb way.
